I had noticed a double-bind in your article. On this one point, the author should have thought a-little more carefuly.
First he complains USA isn't doing enough to control emissions.
Then he goes on to say that USA needs to wean herself off Middle East oil.
USA could easily wean herself off Middle East oil if she returned to fully utilizing coal.
Oil imports would decline, and unfortunately emissions would rise.
That's why I think the author made a big mistake in coupling these two separate issues.
